What happens to the files in the applicationStorageDirectory of my users when I download an update for my iOS Ap

I have an iPad app that is sold in the iOS App Store. I use File.applicationStorageDirectory.resolvePath to save XML files locally to the user iPad (stuff like high scores of the user during playback in offline mode).

What happens to these files for my users if I download a new update of the app from the App Store? Will be they are deleted because the update is a new installation of the application, or they will be left alone?

hehehe, that was one of my first questions I had when I started to build air for mobile applications. The answer is; your binary will be updated, BUT all of your application files saved dynamically will be still, whenever you save anything from your application, it is stored in a place related to your app ID (com.yourappname.blah.blah) which is removed only when the user removes the application from the device, if it persists even if you submit a new binary to the store and the user updates. Does make sense? I do the same thing on traffic wonder and it worked seamlessly when I did a small update from 1.0.0 to 1.0.1 (compatibility ipad3) version, so no worries, unless your new binary reads the old data in a different way

  • Pop-up ads continue despite all the information here regarding remove them.  I think they were watching when I downloaded an update for Adobe Flash Player.  All of the suggestions!

    I use OS x El Capitan 10.11.2 on my 3.2 GHz, 8 GB Mac.  I keep getting the pop - ads that those scam ads reply and get their malicious software solution.  I also get the help line 'Apple' where someone's endearing supposedly walk me if they can help.  I tried all of the solutions in the Apple support groups, but nothing has worked... remove extensions (don't have), in order to put the files listed in 'Go to Folder' (none came, so I couldn't remove them).  Any ideas?  It seems that it got worse after I received a notice to update my Adobe Flash Player... maybe a false update.

    1. the present proceedings is a diagnostic test. It doesn't change anything for the better or worse and therefore, by itself, will not solve the problem. But with the help of the results of the tests, the solution may take a few minutes, instead of hours or days.

    The test works on OS X 10.7 ("Lion") and later versions. I do not recommend running it on older versions of Mac OS X. It will do no harm, but it will not do not much good.

    Do not be put off by the complexity of these instructions. The process is much less complicated than the description. You make the tasks more complicated with the computer all the time.

    2. If you do not already have a current backup, please back up all the data before doing anything else. The backup is needed on the general principle, not because of what anyone in the test procedure. Backup is always a must, and when you encounter any kind of problems with the computer, you can be more than the usual loss of data, if you follow these instructions or risk not.

    There are ways to back up a computer that is not fully functional. Ask if you need advice.

    3 here is instructions to run a UNIX shell script, a type of program. As I wrote above, it doesn't change anything. It does not send or receive data over the network. There is no to generate a report on the State of the computer human readable. This report goes nowhere unless you choose to share it. If you prefer, you can act on it yourself without disclosing the contents for me or someone else.

    You should ask yourself if you can believe me, and if it is safe to run a program at the request of a foreign national. In general, no, he's not sure, and I encourage it.

    In this case, however, there are ways for you to decide if the program is safe without having to trust me. First of all, you can read it. Unlike an application that download you and click to start, it is transparent, so any person with the required competence can check what it does.

    You may not be able to understand the script yourself. But variations of it have been posted on this site of thousands of times over a period of years. The site is hosted by Apple, which does not allow it to be used to distribute harmful software. One of the million registered users to have read the script and set off the alarm if it was dangerous. Then I wouldn't be here now, and you would not be reading this message. See, e.g., this discussion.

    Another indication that the test is safe in this threadand this onecan be found, for example, where the comment in which I suggested it was recommended by one of the specialists of the communityApple, as explained here.

    However, if you cannot satisfy yourself that these instructions are safe, do not follow them. Ask other solutions.

    4. here is a general summary of what you need to do, if you decide to go forward:

    ☞ Copy a particular line of text to the Clipboard.

    ☞ Paste into the window to another application.

    ☞ Wait for the test to run. It usually takes a few minutes.

    ☞ Stick the results, which will be copied automatically, in a response on this page.

    These are not specific instructions; just a glimpse. The details are in parts 7 and 8 of this comment. The sequence is: copy, paste, wait and paste it again. You don't need to copy a second time.

    5. try to test in conditions that replicate the problem, to the extent possible. For example, if the computer is slow intermittently, run the test during a downturn.

    You may have started up in safe mode. If the system is now in safe mode and works pretty well in normal mode to test run, restart as usual before running it. If you can test only in safe mode, this.

    6. If you have more than one user and a user is affected by the problem, and the user is not an administrator, and then run the test twice: once under the affected user and one administrator. The results can be different. The user that is created automatically on a new computer, when you start it for the first time is an administrator. If you are unable to log in as an administrator, verify that the user concerned. More personal Mac have only one user, and in this case this section does not apply. Don't log in as root.

    7 load the linked web page (the site "Pastebin.") The title of the page is 'Diagnostic Test'. Under the title is a text box, headed by three small icons. The right one represents a Clipboard. Click on this icon to select the text, then copy to the Clipboard of your computer by pressing Control-C key combination.

    If the text is not highlighted when you click the icon, select it in triple - click anywhere inside the box. Do not select the whole page, just the text in the box.

    8. start the Terminal application integrated in one of the following ways:

    ☞ Enter the first letters of his name in a Spotlight search. Select from the results (it should be at the top).

    ☞ In the Finder, select go utilities ▹ of menu bar or press the combination of keys shift-command-U. The application is in the folder that opens.

    ☞ Open LaunchPad and start typing the name.

    Click anywhere in the Terminal window to activate it. Paste from the Clipboard into the window by pressing Command + V, then press return. The text that you pasted should disappear immediately.

    9. If you see an error message in the Terminal as "Syntax error" or "Event not found", enter

    exec bash

    and press return. Then paste the script again.

    10. If you logged in as an administrator, you will be prompted for your login password. Nothing displayed when you type. You won't see the usual points instead of the characters typed. Make sure that caps lock is turned off. Type carefully, and then press return. You can get a warning to be careful. If you make three unsuccessful attempts to enter the password, the test is still running, but it will produce less information. If you do not know the password, or if you prefer not to enter, just press back three times at the password prompt. Yet once again, the script will run.

    If the test takes much longer that usual to run because the computer is very slow, you can be prompted for your password a second time. The permission you grant by entering it will expire automatically after five minutes.

    If you are not logged as an administrator, you will be prompted for a password. The test will run. It just will not do anything that requires administrator privileges.

    11. the test may take a few minutes to run, depending on the number of files you have and the speed of the computer. A computer that is abnormally slow may take more time to run the test. During execution, a series of lines is displayed in the Terminal window like this:

        Test started
            Part 1 of 4 done at: … sec        …        Part 4 of 4 done at: … sec
        The test results are on the Clipboard.
        Please close this window.

    The intervals between the parties will not be exactly the same, but they give an approximate indication of progress.

    Wait for the final message "Please close this window" appears. If you don't see it in about 15 minutes, the test probably won't be all within a reasonable time. In this case, press the Ctrl + C key combination or the point command to stop it. Then go to the next step. You will have incomplete results, but still something. If you close the window of the Terminal, while the test is still running, the partial results will not be saved and you have to start over.

    12. when the test is finished, or if you have stopped it because it was taking too long, leaving the Terminal. The results have been saved to the Clipboard automatically. They do not appear in the Terminal window. Please do not copy from there. All you have to do is start a response to this comment and then paste it again by pressing Command-V.

    At the top of the results, there will be a line that begins with the words «Start time.» If you do not see that, but rather to see a mass of gibberish, you wait for the message "close this window". Please wait and try again.

    If personal information, such as your name or e-mail address, appear in the results, make anonymous before posting. Usually it will be not necessary.

    13. in the validation of the results, you see an error message on the web page: "you have included content in your post that is not allowed", or "the message contains invalid characters." It's a bug in the software which manages this website. Thanks for posting the results of the tests on Pastebin, then post here a link to the page you created.

    If you have an account on Pastebin, please do not select private in exposure menu to paste on the page, because no one else that you will be able to see it.

    14. This is a public forum and others can give you advice based on the results of the test. They speak for themselves, not for me. The test itself is harmless, but what're told you to do maybe not. For others who choose to run it, I do not recommend that you view the results of test on this Web site unless I ask.

  • What happened to the insertion function. It was on the same line as file

    What happened to the insertion function? It was on the same line as the files, tools, etc. He's gone. If you want to insert a jpg you sent as an attachment. I have read through the help files and that you can't find the answer. I want my old Thunderbird back! Newer is not always better.

    I suspect that you have lost the Mail composition toolbar. Open an entry window, press and hold the < alt > key, type v and check the box for the mail toolbar. I would also allow the Menu bar while you are there.

    Another possibility, if the Insert option is missing in the mail toolbar, is that it is spent in composition in plain text mode. Open the settings page of the account assigned by right-clicking on the account in the left pane, select Composition & addressing and tick the box labelled "Dial using the HTML format".

    In Firefox 3.6 and later Windows, you can hide the menu bar on "view > toolbars" or via the contextual right click menu on a toolbar.
    Press F10 or press and hold the Alt key to bring up the menu bar temporarily.

  • What happens to a file at the end of playback of a file reference?

    Question general file IO.

    If I'm reading a binary file and the read operation reaches the end of this file, what happens to the file reference?  It exist in memory at this time, or is he out once labview publishes the end of file error?

    I coded a "departure" from playback and functionality 'stop' and the 'Stop' button is the only method in place for the closing of the reading file reference.  Immediate sights are

    (a) what is happening to the reference of the file once the read operation reaches the end of the file

    (b) it is important that I have never close the reference of the file once the user clicks on 'stop '?  (i.e. is it a best practice out there?)

    I'm under Labview 8.6 on Vista Business.

    The file reference is valid when you reach the end of the file. Each read operation returns an error, but you can write to this location. Writing will succeed because it's normal when you add data to a file.

    Close the reference when the user types stop is OK. If you implement a Replay button that you just need to reposition the pointer at the beginning of the file file and read again. This avoids the need to close and reopen the case.

    Because you will lose the lot, you will need to restore from your external backup. If you do not back up your files regularly then it is a good time to review your backup strategy.

    You can always back up your files to boot the machine with a Ubuntu boot CD. Unfortunately, it is much more difficult than restoring from a backup disk.

    What happens if the PC I just downloaded Itunes on & connected to, does it display not all devices?

    Hello 2sealadies!

    Thank you for joining the communities Support from Apple! Looks like you have a problem with your iTuens on Windows 10 not to recognize your iPhone. I know how important it is that the iPhone is recognized by iTunes. Read this article with steps If iTunes does not your iPad, iPhone or iPod. Specifically, after the first series of measures:

    If you are using a Windows PC

    1. Open Device Manager by following the steps for the version of Windows that you have:
      • Windows 10: Click the search box in the lower left corner, type Device Manager and press ENTER. In the list under Bus USB controllers, find the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      • Windows 8: loose in the right edge of the screen. Press search and enter the Manager devices, and then click Device Manager. If requested, enter your password. In the list under Bus USB controllers, find the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
      • Windows 7: click on > Control Panel > system and Maintenance > Device Manager. If requested, enter your password. In the list under Bus USB controllers, find the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver.
    2. Even if you do not find the Apple driver, follow the steps below, based on what you see or don't see.

    The pilot and
    No symbols

    A down arrow
    by the driver

    Exclamation or
    question mark by
    the pilot

    No Apple Mobile
    USB device driver

    You don't see symbols next to the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

    If you do not see , , or of the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, look for third-party software conflicts. Then if you still need help, restart your Apple Mobile Device Service or contact Apple technical support.

    You see an arrow down

    If you see next to the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, the driver with the right mouse button and choose enable from the context menu. Then if you still need help, contact contact Apple technical support.

    You see an exclamation point or question mark

    If you see or the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver, right click on the entry, then manually update the Apple Mobile Device USB driver.

    You do not see the Apple Mobile Device USB Driver

    2. Save a screenshot by pressing the Home button and sleep/wake button of the device button at the same time. The screen should Flash briefly.
    3. Reconnect your device to your computer.
    4. If you see one of these sections in the Device Manager, expand them:
      • Imaging devices
      • Other devices
      • Portable devices
      • USB Bus controllers

    Now, locate the entry that recognizes the device as a camera. You should see 'Apple IPhone', 'Apple iPad' or 'Apple iPod '. Right-click the device entry, and then manually update the Apple Mobile Device USB driver.

    If a single unknown device appears, follow these steps:

    1. Right click on the unknown device entry.
    2. Choose Properties from the context menu, and then click the Details tab.
    3. In the drop-down menu, select hardware IDS.
    4. If the ID begins with something other than USB\VID_0000 & PID_0000, go into the Device Manager and right click on the entry for device unknown, and then manually update the Apple Mobile Device USB driver.
    5. If the ID begins with USB\VID_0000 & PID_0000, then follow the remaining steps.
    6. Unplug the unit and remove all the USB devices on the computer.
    7. Shut down the computer, and then turn it back on.

    The file userChrome.css (UI) customization and userContent.css (Web sites) are located in the folder of chrome in the Firefox profile folder.

    • Create the folder chrome (lowercase) in the .default < xxxxxxxx > profile folder if the folder does not exist
    • Use a text editor such as Notepad to create a userChrome.css (new) file in this folder (the names are case-sensitive)
    • Paste the code in the userChrome.css file in the Editor window and make sure that the userChrome.css file starts with the default @namespace line
    • Make sure that you select "All files" and not "text files" when you save the file via "save file as" in the text editor as userChrome.css. Otherwise, Windows can add a hidden .txt file extension and you end up with one does not not userChrome.css.txt file

    You can use this button to go to the Firefox profile folder currently in use:

  • What happened to the context menu item 'Add album artwork' in iTunes 12.4?

    I love the new version 12.4 (return of the sidebar). What happened to the item of the context menu add album work?

    Someone tell me where to find it.

    If the command get Album artwork , it has not seem to be an equivalent command in the menu bar that applies to only one song (or a selection of songs).  Not in the main menu bar or anywhere else.  The command in the menu bar to file-> library-> Get Album artwork is available, but this action applies to your entire library.

    However, if you put your music library in the Albums view (to display the view with the album 'tiles' of the work in a grid), I noticed you pouvez with right-click an album and get the cover.  I think that this applies to all the songs on the selected album (or albums).  I guess that's "a" logical, given that missing album art are generally for all the songs on the album.

  • How to make the default visible bookmarks. response on Firefox Help "What happened to the bookmarks toolbar?" does not work.

    I want to have my favorites in the left pane of the default desktop, when I connect in firefox, as before. the solution proposed in the firefox help page "What happened to the bookmarks toolbar?", i.e. to check "bookmarks toolbar" in the drop-down display-toolbars menu, does not work.

    can you suggest an alternative?

    I use firefox on a macbookpro with os10.6.6 4.0b11

    The bookmarks toolbar has nothing to do with the Bookmarks Sidebar (on the left side of the browser window). {Ctrl + B} open/close the bookmarks bar. If you close Firefox with the open bookmarks bar, it should be open when you launch Firefox, next time. If it does not work like that in your profile file localstore.rdf file is probably damaged.

  • What happens to the values of the variables cRIO restarts?

    Hello!

    I am currently developing a software that runs on a cRIO as a start-up program. I encode a production counter to determine how many products passed the tests. A web server will be used sometimes check this counter...

    What happens to the value of the counter if cRIO power supply is turned off? The counter will reset to 0 when you restart? If so, how to avoid this behavior and restart with the last count?

    Hello

    Of course, what happens to your variables and what is happening in your program depends on... your program.

    If you do nothing your variables, they will have their value by default when the program starts.

    A way to change this behavior is for example save the value of variables in a text file and read these values at the beginning of the program.

    Hope this helps,
